What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our BRIAN D feeling ecstatic.

Wild Billy Childish is a bit of a nutter. His new "band" The Blackhands have done an hilarious ska-tastic version of 'Who Do You Think You're Kidding Mr. Hitler', the theme to Brit-tastic WW2 sitcom dad's Army! This is just ace, really. You honestly feel like you're in the middle of a really rowdy social club with a load of home gaurd pissheads & Bad Manners, a roight fookin' noight out I can imagine!!! (It's actually recorded in The Prinsentuin, a club in Leeuwarden, Netherlands) 'Chatham Jack is on the flip, another beer sodden rockstaedy fest with uber muffled vox from the mischeivous old sod & his chums! Both tracks taken from the live in Netherlands LP on Damaged Goods. 7" only

What the label says:

It’s a 7” single of Wild Billy Childish & The Blackhands doing a cover of the Dad’s Army theme tune ‘Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler’. This is due to the fact that it’s about to feature in a new ad campaign for ASDA from January the 4th 2008 So here it is again, dear listener: Live In The Netherlands. Recorded live on one Microphone on tour in Holland in May 1993, this musical gem is the stuff of which myths and legends abound. Billy Childish, having heard the Blue Fields Express, wanted his own broken down engine of a group and put out the word. And so they came, from near and afar. Kyra, practicing her Spanish and rattling the pots and pans. A man who didn’t normally drum to play drums. A trumpet player nursing several stitches from having a glass thrust into his face the previous night in a dubious drinking den at the wrong end of town. Miss Ludella Black, dropping in to sing a few numbers during her lunch break from selling fruit and veg on the high street. Shamus, from south of the Thames - having never met the rest of the ensemble, getting lost in the streets of Medway, banging on the wrong door of the wrong house in the wrong town for 2 hours then whipping out his accordion and busking along regardless.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
